This application report shows that the ICP-AES is a technique well adapted for the fast analysis of various food samples. The accuracy can be improved by adjusting the analytical conditions to specific sample types. For example, the range of calibration can be adjusted or the calibration standards matrix matched to the samples. As an alternative to the quantitative analysis, the Win-IMAGE is available which offers the whole spectrum acquisition within 2 minutes. Whole spectrum acquisition gives the capacity to make a semi-quantitative analysis, retrospective analysis and easily analyze multiple wavelengths for improved accuracy.
ICP ATOMIC EMISSION SPECTROSCOPYAPPLICATION NOTE 25 Very Rapid Analysis of Supply Water, Sludge and Animal Food Agnes Cosnier HORIBA Scientific Longjumeau, France Keywords: environment, food 1 Introduction ICP-OES isaamulti-element technique thatallows for the fast analysis of more than 75 ele-ments on the Periodic Table in a variety ofmatrices. This Application Note examines theanalysis of six water and animal food samples. 2 Principle 2.1 Technique used The elemental analysis of the water and animalfood samples were undertaken by InductivelyCoupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry(ICP-AES). The sample is nebulized then trans-ferred to an argon plasma. It is decomposed,atomized and ionized whereby the atoms andions are excited. We measure the intensity ofthe light emitted when the atoms or ions returnto lower levels of energy. Each element emitslight at characteristic wavelengths and theselines can be used for quantitative analysis aftera calibration. 2.2 Wavelength choice The choice of the wavelength in a given matrixcan be made using the profile function, or byusing Win-IMAGE which is rapid semi-quantita-tive analysis mode using multiple wavelengths.The principle is the same in either case: recordthe scans of analytes at low concentration, andof the matrix. By superimposing the spectra, wesee possible interferences. 3 Sample preparation The separate samples were dissolved using dif-ferent concentrations and volumes of acidsdepending on the sample type. The weights ofthe samples and the volume and concentrationsof acid used are given in Table 1 below.

The calibration is made with twopoints, 0 and 5 mg/L for most elements. Thesestandards are prepared in deionized water. The most sensitive lines for each of the elementswere used for analysis and, in some cases, weused two lines because of known interferences.
